Famous Bitcoin addresses

Addresses the public record knows: where they came from, what they hold today and what the chain shows. Each page names the label's source and carries its receipt. The pages describe; they do not rate.

Satoshi era

Addresses from the first months of the chain, in the public record since 2009.

Historic transactions

Addresses on the receiving or sending end of a transaction people still talk about.

Exchange reserves

Reserve addresses the exchanges published themselves, in proof-of-reserves files or wallet lists. They hold a lot and move rarely.

Governments and seizures

Addresses law enforcement moved seized bitcoin to, as documented in court and auction records.

Treasuries and donations

Addresses governments, foundations and public organisations published themselves, for a reserve or for donations.

Common questions

How are the addresses chosen?

Addresses people look up: the first blocks, reserve addresses the exchanges published themselves, seizures documented in court records, and reserve or donation addresses organizations publicly listed. Each page names the public source and carries its receipt; an address whose attribution is not sourced is not listed.

What is the receipt?

A frozen record of the selected public source, the captured API component hashes and the evidence pack identity. It binds the source line to the inputs used for this page.

Is any of this a verdict?

No. The pages describe what the public chain and public sources show. Nothing here rates an address as safe, unsafe, or anything else, and nothing is financial advice.
